Risk-Based Process for Mitigation of Process-Formed Compounds Workshop
Washington, DC, USA
May 12, 2015

Agenda

Introduction
Dr. Paul Hanlon, IAFNS Member Scientist

Defining Risk as the Product of Hazard and Exposure | Video
Dr. Joseph Rodericks, Environ

The Importance of Exposure in Safety/Risk Assessments | Video
Dr. Michael DiNovi, FDA

Regulatory Approaches to Process-Formed Compounds | Video
Dr. Nega Beer

Introduction of the Decision Tree | Video
Dr. Alan Boobis, Imperial College London

Panel Session: Feedback on the Decision Tree | Video
Facilitator: Dr. Paul Hanlon, IAFNS Member Scientist

  • Focuses on making decisions based on safety/risk vs. exposure
  • What are the challenges to implementing such a process?
  • Does the process need additional factors to be considered?

Panel Members

  • Dr. Joseph Rodricks, Environ
  • Dr. Michael DiNovi, FDA CFSAN
  • Dr. Nega Beru, FDA CFSAN
  • Dr. Alan Boobis, Imperial College London
  • Ms. Roxi Beck, Center for Food Integrity

Panel Session Continued: Development of Criteria and Gap Assessment | Video
What are the areas where criteria need to be developed?

  • Identification of high risk compounds
  • How to determine what constitutes a significant enough reduction in risk to justify mitigation
  • How to objectively consider secondary effects of mitigation when justifying mitigation

Summary and Discussion of Communication Strategy | Video
Ms. Roxi Beck, Center for Food Integrity
